v124 Old Man's Choice
In the next few days, as long as Zhao Qingru slipped from behind, he could always meet this old man of the Song family, which was more effective than installing radar at home. After a few contacts www.biquge.info between the pen and the fun and the pavilion, there is also a bit of sympathy for each other, although the age difference between the two is almost half a century.
"So the Zhao family, are you in favor of opening up?" The old man of the Song family was unceremoniously eating the Cantonese pastries that Zhao Qingru brought back from the south, and at the same time disgusted that the pastries were not as delicious as Yanjing.
In this regard, Zhao Qingru only smiled. Everyone has different tastes, some people like spicy food, some people taste sweet, or like sauce, or like light. If you blindly ask the other party to accommodate your preferences, whether it is a husband and wife or a friend, I am afraid that it will not last long.
Zhao Qingru believes that his cheap dad should have a lot of say in this regard. Thinking of Zhao's father's strange face when he saw those "maces", Zhao Qingru suddenly felt that it was not very difficult to clean up his cheap father.
"History has not already told us that it will not work to close the country or something. It's not like the powers have blasted the door open. ”
"But if you open the door, the mess won't come in. "The old man of the Song family tends to be conservative in his thinking, although his concept has changed in the past few months, but he has not turned the corner so quickly. Especially I heard that the female doll of the Zhao family next door not only opened a fruit shop in the free market, but also tossed around with a few unworrying babies in the compound, wanting to open a factory. Isn't this a capitalist ?!
Think about the daughter-in-law of the old man Zhao, isn't she the daughter of a capitalist.
"Therefore, we need to standardize, not only to have a sound set of laws, but also to vigorously develop education and schools. It is necessary not only to let those school-age children go to school, but also to let the young and middle-aged people in their thirties and forties be literate and reasonable, and to standardize the quality of teachers who teach and solve doubts...... When the youth is strong, the country is strong, and only when the country is strong, those who want to bully us have to weigh it. ”
When the youth is strong, the country is strong.
The old man of the Song family carefully recalled Zhao Qingru's words, looked at the youthful little face, and faintly seemed to understand something. If you fall behind, you will be beaten and bullied. The old man of the Song family, who was born in the old society, naturally has a deep understanding of this. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't live back then, he wouldn't have picked up a hoe and resisted.
If running a factory can benefit one party, why stick too much to those forms.
After figuring it out, the old man of the Song family stood up, Xu sat for a little longer, and his body was a little shaky. Zhao Qingru on the side hurriedly went up and helped him.
"Grandpa Song, are you okay? ”
"Old. This leg and foot are not as sharp as they used to be. The old man of the Song family waved his hand, "Zhao family girl, ......"
"Grandpa Song, you say, I'll listen. ”
"Gai Ming'er, when the weather is warm, how about taking some time to accompany the old man to Xiangshan to have a look?"
"Okay. Not to mention climbing mountains, climbing the Great Wall is no problem. ”
Hearing Zhao Qingru's suggestion to climb the Great Wall, the old man of the Song family was obviously stagnant, and then grinned: "It's okay to climb the Great Wall, turn around and call Lao Zhao a few too." ”
Zhao Qingru thought that if all the grandfathers in this compound were to go out together, he was afraid that the guards and uncles in charge of logistics would be very big. Anyway, that's what I said, whether it can be done in the end is a matter of two words. After realizing this, Zhao Qingru didn't gnaw anymore.
It's just that Zhao Qingru didn't expect that this small talk would be the last time she got along with the old man of the Song family.
A few days later, the old man of the Song family had an accident.
In the past few days, there has been a long queue of people who came to Zhao's house to visit the old man, which made Zhao Qingru's juniors a little unaccustomed. So except for Zhao Qingshan, the eldest grandson, who had to accompany him on the side, the big beauty and Xiaoli from Zhao Qingru to the bottom all slipped away.
In this way, until the eighth and ninth days of the first lunar month, there are fewer people who pay New Year's greetings. The rare quiet days made Zhao Qingru rarely tired of being crooked in bed for a while. At eight o'clock, Zhao Qingru, who was in a very good mood, finished washing up and went downstairs, obviously sensing that the atmosphere at home was not quite right.
"Little Ru, you must know that 'the plan of the day lies in the morning'. Look at what time it is, and then get up!" Zhao's father seemed to have eaten a cannon battle, and as soon as he saw Zhao Qingru, he became angry.
Zhao Qingru looked up at the floor-to-ceiling Big Ben clock in the corner, it was only half past eight.
"Okay, Zhao Baoyi! It's the New Year, what's wrong with Ru'er sleeping more and waking up later?" Zhao's mother's face was not very good, "Don't be angry with the child!"
What is the situation? Zhao Qingru glanced at his eldest brother who was bowing his head on the side, and what was more surprising was that Zhao Qingwei, a kid who basically didn't see anyone at the meal, and didn't know what he was busy with all day, was also there. I can't help but guess, could it be that my mother suddenly had a convulsion, and then had a showdown with my cheap father?
Probably not. Haven't we gotten along well these days?
Zhao Qingru didn't wonder for too long, so she knew the reason from the old lady. There are two messages in total, one more surprising than the other. The first one, the old man of the Song family, who lived next door, had a heart attack yesterday, and then the rescue failed, and he was called by Marx to drink tea.
The news came as a surprise to everyone living in the compound. Although birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, everyone has that day, and it will not be an exception just because you live in a compound or a straw hut. It's just that the old man of the Song family left a little suddenly. In turn, the old man of the Song family is considered young in the compound, but he is only in his sixties. Wheel is in good health, worse than the old man of the Song family, at least there are several others, and nothing has happened. As for the configuration such as escorts, they are all similar, at least they are standard.
Why do you say that if you get a boxed lunch, you will get a boxed lunch.
"I can't. I was eating snacks with Grandpa Song in the back garden a while ago. ”
"It's true. Zhao Qingwei sighed, "I went to look for Dezi early this morning, and his eyes were red." "Dezi, full name Song Huaide, the only grandson of the old man of the Song family, is about the same age as Zhao Qingwei. The two of them don't know each other.
"Grandpa Song had an accident, this has nothing to do with Dad's anger. "Even though you feel surprised and grieved, you will not be angry.
"That's because grandpa, I don't know what stimulus I was in, and I decided to retire early in the morning after knowing that Grandpa Song next door had an accident. Zhao Qingshan explained unhurriedly to his baby sister.
"Oh. Just because grandpa is retiring?" Zhao Qingru obviously didn't believe that things were that simple.
Originally, since the old man of the Zhao family was stimulated and sent to the hospital last time, he considered taking a back seat. Now that it has been officially decided, Zhao Qingru is not surprised at all. In fact, it's good to retire, after all, it is impossible for two commanders to appear at the same time in the family. That's right, don't look at Zhao's father being injured, but in the end he won the battle and cleaned up the unobedient Xiao Yue. With the merits of war, it is not surprising that he will be promoted to another level. It's just that the promotion speed is a little bit faster, but it's true.
Therefore, now that the old man has taken a back seat, Zhao's father is more justifiably promoted, and it does not have much impact on the Zhao family. What's more, Father Zhao is not a lord who is too greedy for power, so he shouldn't get angry early in the morning for the old man's retirement. This is what Zhao Qingru can't figure out.
"Of course it's not that simple. Zhao Qingshan saw that Zhao Qingru was almost impatient, so he continued to explain, "Grandpa plans to take grandma around after he retreats." Mom not only did not persuade Grandpa to dispel this idea, but also wanted to go with him. ”
"...... can't.
The corners of Zhao Qingru's mouth twitched slightly, the old man and the old lady wanted to take advantage of the fact that their bodies were still quite strong, and they walked around to take a look, which was understandable. It's just my own mother......
I don't know if this is a daughter-in-law, I don't worry about my parents-in-law, I know...... Hey, let's not talk about it.
Zhao Qingru only felt that her mother-in-law brothers and sisters could grow up to be teenagers peacefully, but it was really not easy.
"Understood. Zhao Qingru replied weakly, and after sorting out his emotions a little, he smiled lightly, "Actually, grandpa wants to take grandma out for a walk, which is a good thing." It's not like 'it's better to read 10,000 books than to travel a thousand miles'. They should be blessed after most of their lives. ”
"Sister, so you agree that your mother will accompany your grandparents out for a walk?"
"I didn't say that. Zhao Qingru stretched out her hand to wipe away the lime on her little brother's face that she didn't know when, "Okay, no matter what, you kid don't want to be lazy and study hard." ”
"Sister, I've thought about going into business. ”
"If you are in business, you should study hard. Otherwise, how can you do business with those foreigners when you go back? Don't be lazy, memorize a hundred words today, and I'll check it in the evening!" Zhao Qingru completely ignored his little brother's shouting and unceremoniously assigned additional study tasks.
Zhao Qingshan actually realized early on that her baby sister wanted to clean up her little brother for a long time, and the only thing she could do to be a big brother was to cheer on the side. So, ask for more blessings, Xiaowei.
The funeral of the old man of the Song family was simple and grand, after all, the old man was also a proletarian revolutionary who overthrew the old rule and established a new society. Zhao Qingru looked at the old man of the Song family who was surrounded by flowers and covered with a big red party flag, and he still couldn't believe that this person was still sitting in the gazebo with her a few days ago, disgusted by those Cantonese pastries, but his appetite was well wiped out.
The world is really impermanent, and human life is really fragile.
Zhao Qingru adjusted for several days, and found that she couldn't make herself happy, and even with this Lantern Festival, it was far less fun than last year. After the Lantern Festival, it is the day of the new semester in a blink of an eye.
This time, Zhao Qingru went back to school early. After arriving at the dormitory with Qian Yinan, he cleaned the dormitory inside and out, and not long after rearranging the bed, Lou Fei, who lived in Sichuandu, also arrived.
"Happy New Year, Qingru Yinan. Lou Fei didn't expect that as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Zhao Qingru, who had left the school first, getting down from his bed.
"Happy New Year, Lou Fei. It seems that the food during the Chinese New Year is good, it seems to be fat. Qian Yinan looked Lou Fei up and down and joked.
"Well, it's a good meal. Lou Fei smiled, then threw his luggage on his bed, looked at the one in his lower bunk that had already cleaned up the bed, and asked suspiciously, "What about Sister Wei Hong, why isn't she in the dormitory?"
"I don't know. Zhao Qingru shook her head, "When I came with Yinan, I didn't see Sister Wei Hong's figure. Listening to the aunt of the dormitory manager below, Sister Wei Hong went back to school in the tenth year of junior high school. ”
"You're going back to school at the tenth day of junior high school?, so early?" Lou Fei frowned. Because the Lantern Festival is a Sunday, it is arranged to be officially registered on the 16th day of the first month, and classes will start on the 18th. It's not that there are no people who return to school early, but people like Jin Weihong who arrived at school in the tenth year of junior high school are afraid that there will not be many of them.
Could it be that something is going on at home?
When Zhao Qingru learned about this from the aunt in charge of the dormitory downstairs, she already had a little more doubts, but after glancing at Qian Yinan at this time, she realized more and more that something might have happened that she didn't know about for the time being.
"We'll talk about that later. If Sister Wei Hong wants to tell us, she will naturally tell us. Zhao Qingru's words fell, and the door of the dormitory was pushed open again.
"Ah, you're back. If you have a mouthful, come and come, hurry up and eat it while it's hot. Jin Weihong was very happy when she saw Zhao Qingshan, and beckoned her to hurry up and eat the braised chicken feet and chicken wings she had just bought.
Xu is already married, Jin Weihong and Guo Jingqing are more economical in the last semester. Guo Jingqing is a little better, although her husband was not admitted to the university here in Yanjing, he has no children in the Hebei University of Technology next door. Like Jin Weihong, her mother-in-law's family is in the countryside, and she has two children at home. So don't talk about braised chicken feet and braised chicken wings, even minced meat is reluctant to buy. In order to save more food expenses, I can go back and buy some Yanjing specialties for my children and husband.
And now it's ......
"What's the matter, this is? Yinan, don't you really like to eat chicken feet, oh, Qingru, you love to eat chicken wings. Jin Weihong saw that Zhao Qingru didn't move the three flutes there, so he took the chopsticks and stuffed one by one.
Sure enough, something happened!
Don't look at Jin Weihong's face full of smiles, but Zhao Qingru still keenly noticed that the smile did not enter his eyes. In other words, it's forcing a smile!
Jin Weihong's change made Zhao Qingru think that it was because the family conditions were good, the economy was well-off, and it was still the New Year, so he treated himself. Now, it seems, that's not the case at all.
"Thank you, Sister Wei Hong. Qian Yinan obviously sensed that something was wrong with Jin Weihong, but like Zhao Qingru and Lou Fei, he didn't point it out for the time being, but turned around and took out the food he brought from home. (To be continued.) )
